Source: petsc Followup-For: Bug #985659 Yeah, the sphinx/dh_sphinxdoc infrastructure seems somewhat flakey (and we really need someone to help reinvigorate mathjax)
lintian is particularly unhelpful about it, complaining one way about sphinx dependencies, then when you make the suggested change it complains a different way about the same thing. It's complicated further in petsc since the source tarball provides prebuilt docs, which may explain why dh_sphinxdoc is not fully filling fields automatically. It's not actually so straightforward to regenerate their docs from scratch.
